Pengli Lake is completely different from what it was before the apocalypse. Before the apocalypse, it was known as the largest freshwater lake in H Country, boasting 41 islands and seven nature reserves. Within the reserve, Pengli Lake is home to nearly one million migratory birds, over 300 species, including over 50 rare species. It is the world's largest bird sanctuary, a paradise for white cranes and waterfowl. It is also a prime habitat for the Yangtze River porpoise.

Now… Lu Xingtang sighed helplessly. There were probably only a few hundred rare birds left. No white cranes, waterfowl, or finless porpoises were to be seen. The finless porpoises, in particular, might have been eaten by humans to save their lives.

After all, the resources of Pengli Lake are much richer than those of other places.

Su Cheng drove with everyone for an hour. The road was not easy to drive on, so they drove a little slowly. When they saw white cranes and water birds catching fish in the water, Su Cheng found a place to pull over and asked the cars behind to stop as well.

"Tangtang, there are fish in the lake. Let's stay and stock up some fish to eat!" I haven't eaten fish for a long time. It would be a lie to say that I'm not craving it.

If there are a lot of fish, they can make some dried fish, pickled fish, etc.

Lu Xingtang's space was full of fish, and they kept breeding. Their numbers were increasing. Luckily, the space had expanded its fish pond from one to ten, otherwise it would have been too full. He and Ji Yanmo ate a lot of fish and seafood in their space, and their stockpile was almost finished.

"Su Cheng, take two people who are good at swimming to take a look. If there are indeed a lot of fish, we will stay and catch some for ourselves!" Fried fish, grilled fish, deep-fried fish, steamed fish, everyone had a full meal today.

Su Cheng took two people to see the lake and saw a lot of fish, including carp, bighead carp, crucian carp, bream, mandarin fish, catfish, mackerel, black carp, grass carp, and perch...

Su Cheng and the others were very happy to see this, and immediately went back to tell everyone the news. They immediately took out buckets to catch the fish, but because they didn't have fishing nets or other tools, they could only use buckets for the time being.

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo did not go fishing with them. Instead, they asked the teacher and other female classmates to stay here to help cook the fish. They went to find vines or bamboo to make fishing nets, which would make it easier to catch fish.

Everyone divided the work and worked together. After Su Cheng and the others caught all the fish, they gutted the fish together. After processing them, they took their tools to find vines to weave fishing nets.

Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo had already found the vines. When Su Cheng and the others came up, they were dragging the vines back home. There were many vines nearby, all of which were long and thin.

Lu Xingtang saw Su Cheng coming over and said, "Su Cheng, come here!" Su Cheng immediately put down the vines in his hand and walked towards Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang handed the vines in his hand to Su Cheng and said, "You and Ah Mo take the vines back together and start weaving the fishing net."

The moment Su Cheng took the vine, Lu Xingtang lowered his voice and said, "Su Cheng, you know about the space, right?"

Su Cheng paused after taking the vine, then turned to look at the others. Seeing no reaction from them, Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then his gaze fell on Ji Yanmo: "On the day of the animal riot, I went out to look for you, and I brought a telescope with me!" Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo immediately understood: "If you trust me, I will keep your secret and help cover for you so that no one will find you! If you don't trust me, you can find an opportunity to quietly get rid of me, and I won't complain!"

They had saved his life from the brink of death.

Lu Xingtang didn't expect that the first person to discover the secret of their space was Su Cheng. If it was someone else, she would have killed him without hesitation.

It happened to be Su Cheng. After Su Cheng found out, he did not ask them, but just silently covered for them. He did not accuse them of being cold-blooded, nor did he ask them how much supplies they had or ask them for supplies.

Ji Yanmo looked at Su Cheng steadily: "Su Cheng, we don't want to kill you. You also know how many hardships the three of us have experienced along the way. We are closer than family, so we will give you a chance to keep it a secret! If I find out, I will kill you at the first moment!" No matter how good our relationship is!

Su Cheng said firmly: "I will!" I will prove to you that I will never betray you two until I die, and I will not morally blackmail you because of your secrets and let you support us.

If he were to put himself in his shoes, he would be killed immediately if his secret was discovered, without giving that person any chance to argue or make excuses. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo had already been kind to him, and he couldn't and didn't want to let them down.

After confirming that Su Cheng knew the secret of the space, the two decided that all tasks in the space should be solved with consciousness, and people should not enter the space if possible to prevent more people from knowing it.

Everyone cut back the vines and followed Ji Yanmo, Su Cheng and Lu Xingtang to learn how to weave fish baskets and fishing nets. Before they were finished, the teacher and other students had already prepared the fish. They basically grilled the fish. To save oil, they did not deep-fry or pan-fry them, but they steamed ten sea bass, which were still steaming in the pot!

I hadn't eaten fish in years, and the moment I ate it, I felt like I was in heaven. "Tangtang, let's stay in Pengli Lake for a few more days. I see there are a lot of fish in the lake. Let's stock up on fish. We have enough salt, so we can stock up on pickled fish. We can make more smoked and grilled fish. Smoked (grilled) fish is dry, so it won't spoil easily and can be stored for a longer time!"

Lu Xingtang had no reason to refuse. "Eat first, then we can work together! Stock up as much as we can."

So, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they weaved bamboo baskets and fishing nets together. After they were done, they went to the lake to catch fish and feel the joy of it. They did not fish again before dark. They gutted and cleaned the fish they caught and started making dried fish, smoked fish, pickled fish, grilled fish, etc.

The aroma of the fish spread ten miles away, causing the bandits living in Pengli Lake to smell it and immediately cheer up, "Brothers, our Pengli Lake people are coming! Go and grab your guns and knives. Remember, show your strength!"

After taking their weapons, the robbers searched for Lu Xingtang and others in Pengli Lake. Pengli Lake is very large, and it was getting dark, so it was not easy to find them. However, Lu Xingtang and others had lit a fire and were making grilled fish, so they quickly found them by following the firelight.

Seeing 34 people and six large trucks coming, the robbers' eyes lit up: "They must have a lot of supplies!"

"Brother, let's be careful. Those who can drive in the apocalypse are powerful characters. They may have guns. We have guns, but no bullets!"

"Damn it, you're already giving in before the fight even starts!" The boss was so angry at his men that he turned around and gave them a beating, making them scream in pain, but they were quickly covered up. "Do you want people to see how stupid we are?"

The man stopped screaming, but his eyes were full of grievance. Who told you to hit him so hard?

Ji Yanmo told Lu Xingtang what he had discovered. Lu Xingtang was quite surprised that there were such cute robbers in the apocalypse. It was not easy!
